01
Artifact Overview
In 1973, AT&T partnered with Henry Dreyfuss & Associates to create a collection of specialty "Design Line" telephones--allowing customers to tailor their technology to fit their home decor. Good grief, it's a Peanuts phone! Design Line character phones were marketed for use in bedrooms and family rooms. Other characters included Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, and Winnie the Pooh.
